Hi Stuart.
I've owned an RSQ3 for about 18 months (it's just turned three years old), and love it.
Very easy to use daily, especially being an automatic. Running costs not too bad. It's currently averaging just under 29 MPG on a mixture of city and longer A road driving. Again not too bad, especially as I do enjoy using the performance. As I don't do many miles I always fill will premium unleaded, usually Tesco 99.
First service at 12000 cost £323 at local main dealer which I didn't feel was too expensive. But for an oil change required 12 months later the dealer wanted to charge over £300! I got my local independent who I really trust to do it instead. £120 all in
Overall I'm really pleased with the car. Best bit, the fantastic noise from the 5 cylinder engine.

I know some people turn their nose up at the very idea of these but I really quite like them.
They ride better than an S or RS3 and have really good visibility (useful on a B road). Easy to park and manouver, ample room inside for a small car, loads of shove, exclusivity, 5 pot noise.
Downsides? Too quiet, easily the quietest RS model. RS3 sounds absolutely fantastic but RSQ3 is very tame by comparison (although the engine itself is a great sounding thing). There are areas now where it's starting to show its age as a model, whilst facelift cars are better the competition has moved ahead in tech terms.
